The Rules of Engagement
Meet-Up
>by Shonette Laffy
Join us for an evening of chitchat about social media, content, and community building.
We’ll have a couple of talks, as well as time at the beginning for pizza, soft drinks, chatting & networking.
Plus the usual favourites Latest News, Social Sin Bin, Stuff We Like and The Tools of Engagement.
Danie Stinchcombe, Marketing Director at Gather Round will be sharing the story of her 7 years as a freelancer. She was never out of work (even throughout COVID) and this was all down to her large network of freelancers and local creative businesses she had tapped into over the years. Danie will explain the importance of being part of a freelance community and will give tips and advice on how you can cast the net wide and grow your own network.
